Our work with colleagues who don't have the laboratory tools to cope with an overwhelming burden of infectious disease. This project supports the ACTM appeal for funds to purchase small items of lab equipment that could make a big difference in resource-limited settings.

The first TED-MED Conference was in Broome, WA on 22nd - 24th May, 2009. Its emphasis was on health capacity development for tropical Australia, and its principal outcome was the Broome Declaration; an action statement on the current situation, future priorities and the best way to move forwards towards those goals. Edited versions of keynote talks from the conference will be available on this site shortly.
